Graphene Superconductivity Gets Activated For The First Time
Thanks to a new experiment by Cambridge researchers, graphene's high conductivity abilities were recently on display after they were able to turn graphene into a superconductor. Their findings were recently published in the journal Nature Communications. And it's said to be the first time that graphene's superconductivity abilities have been tested that we know of.
For their experiment, the researchers looked to demarcate the power of PCCO and graphene. They used tunneling microscopy in order to distinguish the superconductivity for both the graphene and the PCCO. Interesting, it also doesn't need to be cooled down to low temperatures before it can be used either. The scientists also weren't expecting to find a possible p-wave form of superconductivity and this could open things up for a new era of scientific research and engineering. Therefore, more experiments, research, and tests etc, is needed going into the future.
They saw a different type of superconductivity apart from that seen in the PCCO, say researchers involved in the experiment. The researchers say that graphene could become a hub for exploration as far as superconductivity research, thanks to the developing p-wave superconductivity.
There is a high demand in the market for superconductors for many different applications. And this would be a great space to see graphene grow into. We could see graphene making its way from power lines to MRI scanners and more. Graphene truly is a revolutionary material and it feels like we are only just starting to research it and find out what we can do with it.

Thanks for sharing this new and quite incredible material and results. I'm definitely following the matter. All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
Fascinating material. Just imagine what a sharp spike in efficiency this could lead to.
It's still quite hard to make, but it is still early days. If someone can mass produce graphene that'll be big
nice, I like your post
Very interesting topic. I love all the science behind sacred geometry and frequencies. This is where the secrets to life are found in my opinion.
